[0:01] Saddam Hussein is threatening again.
[0:04] He's now targeting bases for the US
[0:06] planes that patrol Iraq's no-fly zones.
[0:09] American Airlines slowly returns to
[0:12] normal. Most pilots are ending their
[0:14] sick out. And clues to the weather

[0:28] with Dan Rather reporting from CBS

[0:35] fired missiles at Iraq today, Saddam
[0:37] Hussein shot back with a new warning for

[1:16] Iraqi anti-aircraft sites in both the

[1:37] convince the Turkish government not to
